1380 Gap: 100 Out of 0!
His classmate was his high school classmate. After the college entrance examination that year, he was admitted to the medical school.
As for his classmate, he was admitted to the mechanical engineering major of Harbin Institute of Technology. In their time, this major was quite popular.
Later, after the old man graduated, he worked in a central enterprise for a period of time.
Later, I went to the south to work, and worked in Shanghai and Yangcheng successively.
And his main industry is actually the elevator.
The first unit he worked for was Mitsubishi Elevator, which was co-operated by Shanghai Metropolis in Japan. Later, he went to Yangcheng, where he also went to Otis, which was co-operated with local and foreign capital. Both of them are in the elevator industry.
So it can be said that I have a very good understanding of this industry.
Later, because of the outbreak of the domestic real estate boom, he, a very intelligent classmate, simply came out and worked on his own.
At the beginning, I acted as an agent for the elevators of several elevator manufacturers, and recommended my own elevators to real estate companies all over the country.
Then I quickly accumulated my first pot of gold, and then I started to invest in some real estate projects, and then I copied some real estate projects myself.
He soon became a billionaire with a small net worth, but his classmate is still very discerning.
As early as a few years ago, I realized that the real estate market might change, and many small and medium real estate developers might not be able to bear it.
So he chose to quit early, and after more than ten years of thrashing, he also saved hundreds of millions of net worth.
According to common sense, he has already achieved financial freedom, and he can choose to retire early and enjoy life.
But Guan Zhenhai said that his old classmate just couldn't stay at home.
And I have always liked tinkering with machinery in my early years. After quitting the real estate industry, I have been thinking about what I am doing.
But after choosing and choosing, I didn't choose any suitable investment direction.
He doesn't know much about investing in e-commerce, and it's unwise to invest in e-commerce now that the competition is so fierce.
He didn't know much about going to other industries, so he simply chose his old business and re-entered the elevator industry.
But this time, his friend is not going to act as an agent for other people's elevators, but to develop and manufacture elevators by himself.
"Well, the real estate industry in our country has been so developed and prosperous in recent years, don't we have our own elevators in our country?"
When I heard from Guan Zhenhai that his friend planned to make a major breakthrough in the field of domestic elevators.
And from the looks of it, it seems that you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly.
Xiao Feng, He Xiaojun, and He Fangzhou who were present were all stunned.
They haven't paid much attention to this field before, and they really don't know much about the domestic elevator industry.
At this time, Guan Zhenhai couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard a few big shots asking.
"Hi! I didn't know before. It was only after getting online with my old friend that I realized that our domestic elevator industry is so much worse than others!"
Hearing what he said, Xiao Feng and the others couldn't help but become more curious, especially Xiao Feng. He really didn't know that the elevator he took almost every day had so many gossips.
"Oh? How bad is it? Let's hear it."
The smile on Guan Zhenhai's face at this time can be said to be very bitter, and he glanced at Xiao Feng. Then said.
"Mr. Xiao, you may not believe it. The gap between our domestic elevators and foreign elevators is even worse than that of cars and chips."
"Just like cars, many domestic brands in our country can produce their own engines and transmissions at least, and the level may be just one level lower than those of those international manufacturers."
"Speaking of chips, although we are about five generations behind the top chips in the world, we can still produce them anyway."
"But when it comes to elevators, hehe, the gap between us and foreign countries is 100%. There is almost no one in China that can afford it!"
"WTF!"
"What?"
"No way..."
Guan Zhenhai said so,
The other three bosses present were all dumbfounded.
What Guan Zhenhai said before was so ridiculous. They thought that the difference between our domestic elevators and foreign brands is only in quality.
But now that Guan Zhenhai said this, they realized that there are actually so many people traveling abroad with our elevators.
One hundred percent!
This is simply unimaginable, especially in Huaguo, which claims to have a complete industrial chain.
This is incredible, right?
"Hey, how do you say this? Don't look at the elevators installed in the building, it seems a very inconspicuous device."
"But in fact, the technical content of this thing is quite high."
"The previous elevator was purely mechanical. To put it bluntly, it was composed of a control panel, and then a car, a counterweight, and a gear reduction box."
"The working principle is very simple. After entering the elevator, the person presses the floor. Then the computer program in the chip behind the control panel will assign instructions to the counterweight box according to the floor and the weight of the person entering the elevator, and then the counterweight will be distributed. When you're done, pull the elevator up."
"When the floor is about to stop, there will be a gear reducer to stop and decelerate..."
"The process seems to be very simple, but the setting of the internal procedures is actually very complicated, and such equipment has very high requirements on the steel cables that drag the car, and the steel cables made of special steel must be used."
"Steel cables made of ordinary steel will experience serious wear and corrosion after a certain amount of repeated use."
"So the elevators in the early years actually had very high requirements for materials..."
Guan Zhenhai began to explain the common sense of elevators to everyone.
Of course, this is also to recommend him as a friend to these bigwigs, that's why he worked so hard.
And his knowledge about elevators was also explained to him by his old classmate after many contacts with him.
Otherwise, how could he know so much by himself with a scalpel.
But the three bosses on the opposite side don't hate his popular science.
Because of different majors, everyone did not know this knowledge before, but now after listening to the science popularization given by Guan Zhenhai.
Only then did everyone know that there are so many high technologies on a seemingly inconspicuous elevator.
And at this time Xiao Feng also thought of his good friend, Mr. Wan's father.
It is said that when the domestic real estate industry was in full swing, this big guy had already started to plan for a rainy day and planned to change careers.
Because as a business tycoon, his forward-looking vision is naturally unparalleled.
As the saying goes, when everyone else is carnival, you have to know fear.
At that time, the boss had already realized that there is no reason why the sky is not good for a hundred days, and there is no reason for flowers to be red in a hundred days.
Although the current domestic real estate market is so hot, the real estate economy cannot last for such a long time.
Sooner or later he will have an end, a time to quit.
At that time, the boss was already thinking about doing something else.
When choosing a new investment industry at that time, the boss chose to invest in elevators.
Because he is in the real estate industry, he naturally knows how bad our country is in the elevator field.
It can be said that almost all domestic elevators, from escalators to box elevators, need to be imported.
And in his view, this is a huge market. You must know that so many high-level buildings are built every year in the whole country.
How many elevators does it take?
And with so many elevators, future maintenance and parts replacement are all money.
Therefore, making elevators is an industry worthy of long-term investment and operation.
So the old man planned to enter the elevator industry back then.
It's a pity that the research team he sent only went to this industry to investigate, and then was persuaded to leave.
Because the research report given to him by this research team shows that with the current domestic technology, he wants to make a breakthrough in the elevator field.
That's almost impossible!
Because of the technical gap between our country and foreign companies in the field of elevators, it is almost as far as the earth to the moon.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, it is enough to show how big is the technical gap between us and foreign countries in the field of elevators.
And that boss really didn't make up his mind.
Because investing in the elevator industry is destined to be an industry with a large investment and a long cycle, and it may not necessarily produce results.
So, as a business tycoon who prefers to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, he chose to give up.
Of course, this is also what Wan Gongzi mentioned to him when he was chatting with Wan Gongzi before.
But he didn't mention that when his father gave up the industry, Mr. Wan just shook his head for a while, feeling sorry for it.
Because it was a pity to miss this opportunity back then, if his father could really seize the opportunity.
If his father was really willing to spend all his money on this project, he would really be able to make a breakthrough in this field.
So even if their family can't become another H company today.
At least it is another company like Midea, Gree, and Haier.
Because back then, his father never thought that the real estate industry in China would be so crazy.
Because according to the statistics made by their real estate company.
Between 2008 and 2018, the most glorious decade in the real estate industry.
The average amount of domestic elevators imported from abroad is about 200 million U.S. dollars every year.
In the most glorious years from 12 to 2016, elevators were imported from abroad on average every year, worth about 300 million U.S. dollars.
In other years, the average import share is about 150 million US dollars.
Even in the worst years, the average annual import of elevators from abroad is about 100 million US dollars...
Many people may hear such an amount and say, what is this amount of money?
They real estate developers, don't they have to make billions if they open a market at random?
Ha ha, then you are too naive.
Even if it is a big company like Yida, if you look at its report after a year, how much is its net profit?
It's only a few hundred million. Although there must be tax avoidance hedges in it, in fact, his real net profit scale is not too much.
